Hi,
We already discussed this point: I don't really know the reason of these 2
classes. It was already like this when I took the project in charge. The only
clue was in the documentation: inheritance vs delegation model. But perhaps it
is possible to have both with only one class.
Currently, in WebTestCase, the method runBare() is overriden. This methods is
automatically called by JUnit framework. If you merge WebTestCase and
WebTester, take care because for people using delegation model (ie not
inheriting), the method runBare() will never be called.
Because I don't think we will detect possible problems before releasing, I
suggest to release a beta if you plan to do this big change.
Regards,
Julien

Objet : [JWebUnit-development] WebTestCase and WebTester
Hi,
What is the purpose of having the WebTestCase generated at runtime from the
WebTester? It's not entirely clear to me.
Considering that the entire class is just a proxy around the WebTester, the
only additional functionality that I can see it adding is the ability to
provide a custom tester. But the custom tester must extend WebTester already.
What if we renamed WebTester to WebTestCase and allowed it to extend JUnit's
TestCase directly? It will still be possible to provide custom testers by
extending WebTestCase.
Benefits that I see:
- one less Maven plugin to worry about
- we do not have to go through an additional step to generate the interface for
WebTestCase
- less compile warnings (the parser doesn't currently copy generics in method
definitions)
- it makes browsing source code easier (the missing WebTestCase from source
files stumped me for a couple of hours when I was first working with JWebUnit)
Thoughts?
Jevon
